Synopsis:
Kim Myung Min will be playing Kang Ma E 강마에, an orchestra conductor in his 40’s. His character is an elite conductor with a very bad reputation, and who will do absolutely anything in order to create the very best music. But due to his self-righteous and stubborn personality that makes him think only his thoughts are correct, he is unable to form good relationships with those around him. Also, he is an elite conductor who insists that classical music is made for nobility only.

Ma E is a ‘workaholic’ and has a very troublesome personality, and thus seems similar to the character of Jang Joon Hyuk in the drama “White Tower”. Kim Myung Min has gotten the opportunity to harden his acting skills by playing another unique character. “Beethoven Virus” draws the story of people who’ve been abandoned by music, and have abandoned music themselves, and who create an orchestra and encounter many difficulties. This story will concentrate on classical music, and thus brings to mind the popular Japanese manga “Nodame Cantabile”.

Lee Ji Ah will playing the role of 27 years old “Du Ru Mi”, a frank and lively talented girl who plays the violin by the ear. She may seem womanly and elegant on the surface but she is tomboyish girl who even dares to share adult videos with her male friends.

Jang Geun Suk will be playing “Kang Gun Woo” a person who is gifted musically with the perfect pitch and will form a love triangle with Ma E and Du Ru Mi.
